ecm receives a singal from the dist. telling it were the engine is and fire the injectors accordling. ecm also tell the fuel pump to turn on might check to see of you have fuel pressure. should be able to check the injectors with a test light and see if they are being told to pulse.

not sure of which wires give the ecm power(pink and black one I think). most af the functions that the ecm control simply gives and takes away the ground side of the circuit. make sure you do not put a direct 12 volts to the ecm. it works off of a max of 5 volts only.

carb or tpi? can send you the pin out for either? if it is carb the orange wire is always the for the ecm memory. pin "c" on lower connector(pink and black) should be hot with the ign switch is on
